DENOUNCE BUT IN BETTER DICTION, DEAR HINDUPHOBE

DENOUNCE BUT IN BETTER DICTION, DEAR HINDUPHOBE

The word 'fascist' is nowadays very often used to malign Hindutva. Have these vilifiers of Hindutva who freely use their democratic right of free speech to abuse Hindutva ever stayed in a fascist state for any length of time to find out what fascism truly is like? Many of these abusers are communists who have made the use of this word 'fascist' their trademark in putting down perceived ideological opponents. Why do these adherents of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism not speak of how much mercy the communists have historically shown to their ideological opponents and political adversaries? In the application of revolutionary party violence and post-revolution state violence have the communists been more merciful than the fascists? Why then make the word 'fascist' alone so dirty and spare the word 'communist' of that laurel? Does Hindutva come anywhere near these two ideologies (fascism and communism) in terms of dastardly historical accomplishments? Why then make such a liberal use of the word 'fascist' in denouncing Hindutva? Stick to better diction when opening your mouth hereon, dear denouncer of Hindutva?
